Chesterfield have signed experienced defender Georges Santos on a non-contract basis for one month.

The 37-year-old Frenchman started his career in England with Tranmere and took in spells at WBA, Sheffield United, Grimsby, Ipswich, QPR and Brighton.

Chesterfield manager Lee Richardson said: "This arrangement is of mutual benefit as Georges was looking for a footballing opportunity and we need some more defensive cover, especially in the short-term whilst Aaron Downes is on international duty with Australia under-23s."
